das good!
that's.. real.
maybe just tell em to use it and act sure and fake it till u make it
edit: u know guys transitioning is kinda hard. i mean, it's probably worth it but ya. like, eventually i gotta do all the legal stuff. for now i gotta update or set pronouns everywhere, change my name where i can, get a new email, change it in all the little apps, still gotta change the user folder for my windows pc, i already renamed the pc tho. etc. etc. like so many little and some larger things. it's a bit complicated and ... yeah. it's like starting over but i still feel like there's some of the "old me" left over that will never go away..
like more little things are if i out my name on anything (like, irl) or wtvr. like it'd be so much easier if i was born Lily from the start, yk?
